Gamblers Luck.

Many examples of luck have been
cited of late years, and the exploits
of such men as Dink Davis, Kirk
Gum, and others at the card table,
have time and time again been pub
lished in the papers. but the way in
which old Captain s. did up the gam.
blers in Galveston in 1879, was about
as wonderful an example of what
luck will do for man as can be found
anywhere. The captain. who was
retired steamboat man living at
Houston, frequently visited the city OF
oleanders. and whenever he did he in
dulged in bit of spree and tustle
with the tiger. 1t was one night in
the early spring that / had occasion
to visit the bank presided over by
Odel q Norton, just over the Two
Brothers saloon, and going up the
stairs brushed against the captain,
who was already, although it was still
early in the evening, half seas-over,
and insisted on my keeping him COM
pany while he tackled the Royal Ben
gal animal. Jim Odell was at the
table himself dealing as the captain
entered, and buying $50 worth Of
checks he began the contest. Luck
steadily favored him, and in few
minutes he had won $1,000 of the
bank. With a drunken gravity the
captain now insisted that he had had
enough for one night, and that he was
going to bed. The smiling gambler
tried in every way to induce him to
play longer, but to no purpose, and
cashing in his checks the captain don
ned his overcoat and prepared to leave
the tigers lair. Jim Norton, the
other partner, had entered the room
in the meantime, and had taken hi.
place at the roulette wheel, which
stood just inside the door Of the gam
bling room. AS the captain lurched
by him on his way to the door, Nor
ton remarked:
"You amt going out without giving
us bet, are you, captain ?"
The captain stopped moment. and
then unbuttoning his overcoat he said
thickly:
make you just one bet, JIM" and
laying a note all crumpled up into a
little ball on the double eagle, he said
Just let her 90. jim"
Around spun the little ball, and
when it stopped at last the double
eagle had won. Drawing the note
towards him to see how much he had
got to pay, the double eagle calling
for q to /, he burst into loud oath
for the captain had laid down Gen.
fury note, and that single spin Of
the ball had cost the firm just S2,70C
more. Slowly and sadly the surpris'
ed gambler paid over the money, say
ing:
"You can go now, cap. The man
that wins $1,000 of us at faro, and
then double it on one bet at the wheel
has too much luck to buck again
Come in some time again when you
are sober.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

One of the most beautiful processes

One of the most beautiful processes
in enamelling, according to the Deut
Ind. Zeitung, is accomplished by using
gold thread rubbed with the juice Of
an onion, which causes it to adhere tc
the surface, the figures being after
ward filled out with enamel. This il
the art known as cloisonne, the meth.
cd pursued being to bake the article
in a furnace until the enamel exhibit!
a lustre or glossy surface, which is ar
indication that it is melted. The pro
cess has to be conducted with care, fol
if it is overbaked the enamel burns
and falls off; it may also happen that
in places where the enamel burns il
thinner, it also burns. When cool
the roughness is removed by careful
hand polishing, with fine sand stone
and lastly the enamel receives its fin.

MISCELLANEOUS.
THE WEARY WORLD.

Far down the winding lane OF years
The weary world is slowly vending;
Grim walls OF fate and gates OF tears
To trembling prayers no answer sending.
Yet through II all sweet spirits call,
Through lonely days Of grief and aching;
"Hopes roses blossom on the wall,
TO keep the worlds great heart from break

Across the sobbing sea OF doom
The weary world is slowly drifting;
Eyes wet with tears pierce through the gloom
Yet see no sign ofrest or rifting.
STILL angels bright, from some far height,
Repeat through hours OF weary waking:
"Hope's starlight shines through darkest night,
To keep the worlds great heart from break
ing"
Ger troubled waves. by paths OF rue,
Faint souls press toward the land OF pardon,
Burdcned with crosses, wet with dew
From chill Gethsemane's lone garden.
Yet 70 and fro, now loud, now low,
A voice in sweetest music making
Hope, singing on, through pain and woe,
To keep the worlds great heart from break
